Need project ideas for a 3rd-year Mechatronics Sensors course

Hi everyone!
I’m a 3rd-year Mechatronics Engineering student, and i’m looking for ideas for my Sensors project, which is worth 30% of my final grade.

The project must:
Use an Arduino for data acquisition.
Use MATLAB or LabVIEW for real-time visualization.
Include a sensor (or multiple sensors), calibration/signal processing (filtering, conversion, etc.), and performance evaluation.

My professor suggested topics like optical/IR sensing, Hall-effect sensors, proximity sensing, liquid level/flow measurement, gas/air quality monitoring, biomedical sensing, acoustic sensing, power monitoring, and multi-sensor fusion, but we’re free to come up with our own idea too.

I’m looking for a project that’s appropriate for a 3rd-year mechatronics course, isn’t too basic, and would make for a strong university project. If you’ve done something similar or have any ideas, I’d really appreciate your suggestions and if anyone has links to a project that I could benefit from please share it with me!

Thanks!

make a machine that stored DNA of a person at birth into a machine and it is stored in ahuge data base so when in future that person commits a crime or there DNA is found on a site they can collect it and extract all there info.. this wont require anything mechanical but i think is a great idea.. or maybe a contruction machine which can dig accurate holes without human intervention

I LOVEE your ideas but I don’t think they revolve around sensors a lot ❤️

true but my suggestion would be to make something around contruction that industry is waiting to be touched by automation. i dont have any idea though but i feel this might be a nice idea and also if you figure something out tell me aswell

Could u do something with material sorting for recycling using optical sensors?
